Description
YAY! It's cloud in zack's death scene. I think this was 6 hours? I don't remember. I tried to follow the reference as perfectly as possible, so the colours and lines should match nearly perfectly. Like it?Done with the GIMP 2.6.4

Thanks for the complements (and 
Yes, that was done completely in Gimp. The secret is in the Gimp's brush pipes. I just made a nice cycling clouded brush and went at it. Practically blended itself. For the hair, I just have to say that the smudge tool is a friend

No problem!
Yay for GIMP! 8D Brush pipes? Never heard of it!

Brush pipes (like the sparks brush or vines brush) are the thing that Photoshop is missing

Really lovely! I really adore the unfocused state, I just might have to try my hand at something like this. It's really pretty...!
(OT: I came across this when I was searching for 'the price of freedom', I'm planning on making a piece with that title, too :3)

Hey! Thanks for the feedback! I made this one a long time ago, when I was new to digital painting; thus, the sketchy unfocused style is totally due to lack of skill, not stylistic choices. I basically just made a brush out of some random noise/clouds and painted the entire thing like that, so if you're going for that style, just follow those steps and it's a piece of cake.

8D His face reminds me of that of a Kabuki character.
He's got the crazy hair, pale white face, and then the crazy detailed eyes.
That's totally boss. Good job dude!

They involved big ol' costumes and Big lion mane-esque wigs and white faces...

Again with my critiquing...
I think it would look THAT much better if you spice up the shoulder/armor with some details. Or detailz, depending on how old school you want to kick it.
